Some Muslims and all Non-Muslims with a pulse know that Islam has a problem with violent misogyny and intolerance. In fact, Islam has more than a problem with these vices; Islam glories in them. It does so because it insists on unalterable dogma that dates back to the 6thC of its inception. With a few minor tweaks in the intervening 14C, Sharia Law, the legal underpinning of Islam, remains to this day the wish bucket of a severely testosterone poisoned desert patriarchy.

Of course, Islam at certain times in the realms it overan, permitted the continued existence of certain religions " of the book ". These faiths, notably Judaism and Christianity, were allowed a beleaguered survival provided their adherents complied with the terms of dhimmitude that constrained their religious practice, their career opportunities and reduced their standing versus Muslim litigants to that of donkeys. It also made them fiscal milch cows. Again, at these times of circumscribed Islamic tolerance, Christianity was pretty well totally intolerant. The problem is that since then Christianity has had a few reforms and Islam none.

Just as the Vatican sets the mood music for Catholics, in the Vaticans of the Gulf and Iran the high clergy play and propagate the stone carved score of the 6thC. This Islamic Papacy that is the ultimate arbiter of Muslim behaviour treats all notions of reform and change as capital heresy to be stamped on without mercy. It is not therefore surprising that, with approval from on high, 2 million Animists and Christians can be butchered in the Sudan because they rejected Sharia law, women can be treated as third class cretins, homosexuals can be hurled off high rises and an Afghan can fight to the last bullet to prevent his daughters being educated. What is surprising and shocking is the abject failure of the West to denounce the grossness of present day Islam.

You would think that there is enough abuse of women everywhere on the planet without also allowing Islam's codified, legalised misogyny. How can it be acceptable for a Muslim man to divorce a wife and throw her out on her backside minus the kids by simply saying " I divorce you " three times? How can it be acceptable today for a woman's testimony in court to be worth a fraction of that of a man? There are many women imprisoned in Pakistan because they have been raped and are therefore deemed under Sharia law to be adultresses because they had sex outside marriage. In Pakistan adultery is a capital crime. How can the planet tolerate the execution of anyone, woman or man, who chooses to stop being a Muslim? The list of abominations sanctioned by Islam is long, shameful and totally out of step with the humanist progression that most of world now demands.

Why then is virtually nothing said to call out Islam? Why are there no loud voices demanding that Islam be reformed and made liberal and tolerant? The reason is that the civilised world consists roughly of four groups; the impotent masses, the scared who can't be got up off their knees, the paid off and the congenital appeasers. The paid off are those who for example sell torture instruments, arms, and solid gold bath tubs to the Saudis. The congenital appeasers are typified by the politicians, state functionaries and media folk who from Helsinki to L.A. will, after every atrocity like the Sudan, Twin Towers, Bali, Bataclan, Manchester, London and Nice etc,etc, raise their bullhorns to holler " This has nothing to do with Islam! " Really!?

The compulsion to absolve Islam of all blame, indeed to accuse those who dare to criticise Islam of racism, is pervasive amongst the bien pensants and their minions. This mind set is particularly revolting when it comes to dealing with the special contempt that too many Muslim men have for Non-Muslim women. Here we have the Stockholm police chief who felt able straight faced to declare that establishing the ethnicity ( religion ) of perps in sexual attacks at a festival was a no-no. " We don't go to these dark places! " So much for Nordic police investigative procedures. In the wake of several hundred sexual assaults committed by Muslim immigrants at a winter fair in her town, all the mayor of Cologne had to say was that German women should not wear "provocative" clothing. No doubt she would have liked the women of Cologne to only step out in burkas and in the company of a male family member. England, though, has by far the worst appeasement problem of all. For fear of loosing the political support of considerable Muslim populations, the authorities, social services and police, in towns up and down the country (Oxford, Derby, Rotherham, Newcastle, Telford ...) have turned a blind eye to the systematic industrial scale sectarian and racist paedofilia of Muslim gangs targeting non-Muslim girls. More often than not, if any police action was taken it was to describe the young victims as prostitutes. Rotherham alone, when forced to accept a public enquiry, revealed over 1500 cases. Here we have a senior police officer in that sad town who, when commenting on the case of a 12 year old non-Muslim who had been groomed, trafficked and raped over 50 times by a gang of Muslim men, declared that it was the girl's " life style choice ". Never mind that any sex with a girl under 16 is illegal in Britain.

This fear of telling it as it is, this fearful appeasement of Muslim communities allows the perps to have a whale of a time until they are finally brought to justice. The damage done by these depraved men also includes the besmirching of the Muslim community as a whole. The appeasement has to cease.

Calling to account and facing down an entrenched ideology that feels free to promote violent intolerance and misogyny and happens also to bathe in trillions of petro-dollars is daunting. We should though be of good heart. Nothing including Islam is beyond reform. We need to help Islam by robustly and loudly denouncing it's wrong doings. There are plenty of humane Muslims who know that the core Islam of today and yesterday is as damaging to themselves as it is to Non-Muslims. These Muslims need to step up and join us. As a matter of urgency, a platform for action should be organised.

It is not enough, as occurs in many Western countries, to simply try and divert adults and youths from the calls of extremism. To do this alone is no more that to don flak jackets in the face of incoming rockets. What is vital is that we direct our anger and demands at those who pay for an launch these rockets. This means that we need to challenge and call out directly the leading clergy of the Islamic Papacies of the Gulf and Iran. This is where the poison ultimately comes from. Until these toxic fountains are cleaned out to yield up tolerance and kindness alone, nothing will change.

In 2014, Obama's Vice President Joe Biden told a Harvard gathering that Erdogan was backing ISIS with "Hundreds of millions of dollars and thousands of tons of arms." The basis of this accusation was intelligence indicating that the Sultan's son and son in law were smuggling into Turkey from Syria oil and other commodities looted by ISIS. The payback, minus fat commissions, was bucks and bangs. Commenting, Anatoly Antonov, Russia's deputy defence minister, said " What a marvelous family business! "

Now, apart from trousering millions, were there other motives for Erdogan's backing of ISIS? Seems there were two. Firstly, as an Islamist busy unpicking Ataturk' secular legacy, he has sympathy for ISIS. OK, they throw homos of high rises and crucify dissidents but for God's sake give them a break; they are just good thorough going Muslims! Secondly, and most importantly, the Sultan is driven by his pathological hatred of the Kurds and their separatist aspirations.

The Kurds and others with US support were taking on ISIS. So help ISIS and you bleed the Kurds. The Sultan's problem here was that the YPG Kurds, who treat men and women equally and have highly able all women fighting brigades, these Kurds were doing rather well against ISIS. In fact they were/are, as recognised by the US, the only effective military force in both Syria and Iraq.

In the early stages of the siege by ISIS of Kurd held Kobani, September 2014, Erdogan was gleefully predicting that it would fall in days. He was bitterly disappointed when the town held out heroically for four months and ISIS was finally driven off. Kobani was the beginning of the end for ISIS. The Kurds, their allies and the US went on to crush the nutters in Mosul, Raqqa and everywhere else. One of the results of this was the firming up of a socialistic Kurdish statelet along the Turkish/Syrian border. It is this entity that ISIS friend Erdogan has attacked and wants to destroy.

Good luck Sultan! It was easy to squat on Ataturk's gifts and jail all your journalists, wig makers and political opponents. Attempting, however, to take down the Kurds who almost single-handedly finished ISIS is not just nasty it is extremely foolhardy.

That May is only now able to rule with the help of the DUP is truly lovely. Apart from having comically severe sexual hangups, the DUP is not the sharpest knife in the kitchen: they want the border with the Republic to stay as it is and they want a Very Hard Brexit. Serious Dimwit Territory. Ruth Davidson and her Scottish contingent are, not withstanding her protestations, nothing but May´s lobby fodder lap dogs. What´s the matter with the Scots that they were so easily conned into thinking that Davidson is going to be able to lift her little finger for Scotland? O.K, O.K Scotland´s Labour Stooge urged tactical voting against the SNP clearly preferring a Tory governement to a strong SNP! Also, Sturgeon should have drowned all mention of indyref2. Corbyn? Well Corbyn won seats by promising everyone the moon and convincing a lot of the Selfharmers that he is pro Brexit which is not terribly difficult because that is exactly what he is and allways has been. The result, however, is that more moderate and, dare I even say it, Breturn views are gaining sway. Good old Ken Clarke, love him to bits! Things are looking up.

It was embarrassing to see May at the microphones hours after the Manchester atrocity. She looked relieved not to say elated to be able to pontificate about Strong Leadership. Strong on Leadership. Strong on Terrorism. Strong on the Weather. Strong on Cauliflowers. Hardly surprising as earlier in the day she and the Clowns and Cretins had taken a pasting over her countless U turns, care for the elderly and the winter fuel allowance etc. The difference in the polls between Labour and the Cretins was rapidly narrowing. And then Boom! I don't think the Cretins were not going to increase their majority but it looked for a moment as though their majority might not be so monstrous. Now, thanks to the Monsters, Thursday will be a real wipe out for sanity and the future.

What of the Monsters? I reckon it is high time, as the brave Nazir Afzal says ( He lost his job as chief executive of the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners for his outspoken views ), that the Muslim Community stopped claiming that these necrophiles have nothing to do with Islam. The Muslim Community needs to step up and own these atrocities. The Monsters are not Amish, Sikhs or Basque Separatists; they are Muslims. The Muslim Community needs to recognise this and stop birthing these degenerates.

Brexit? Well, given that Corbyn did SFA to prevent it happening and eagerly lept into bed with the Cretins to facilitate its triggering, what have we got? Two intellectually challenged ex geography teachers locking horns over who can best self harm. Depressing but at the end of the day Labour have got to be voted for if it comes to a choice between them and the Cretins. Vote LibDem if they have a chance as they are with the SNP the only ones who want the public to have a vote on the sorry deal that the Cretins will bring back from Brussels. If you are Scots vote for Nicola. I have spoken!

My prediction; Cretin majority of 50 and the SNP down to 40. The LibDems ? Sadly, realistically, they will be lucky to get 4 seats with the happy clappy evangelist playing the guitar as they cab off to nowhere. Buckle on your seat belts; its gonna get real crazy.

Today, the Clowns and Cretins have formally pitched us out onto Desolation Street. How sad is that? It has made me cry and rage.

But, as like crazy the daffs bloom and the birds sing, let us not despair too much; I've changed my mind about the way to reverse Brexit. Forget my earlier idea of a new centrist party called the Mods. Nice but too complicated.

For a Reverse/Return to be effected, boldly labeled Remainer parliamentary seats have to be created. The Labour Party, which is by and large indifferent to the ideals of the EU and has cravenly collaborated with the Tories is, as it Trots off to nowhere, of no use whatsoever. It is the Lib Dems alone who are in a position to democratically bring about a return to the EU. They showed their potential in Richmond. With at least a hundred or more constituencies which like Richmond have comfortable Remain majorities to be plucked, it is a no brainer. The Lib Dems need simply to stand up now and say loud and clear that they are home for the Sane. Lets hope they do this and save themselves and the country.

Anyone criticising Brexit is howled at by the Clowns and Cretins as defying the democratic will of the people.Heaven Forbid! However, as we are of course all democrats, here is a way of smashing Brexit in a properly democratic way that will make the Clowns and Cretins choke with impotent rage. Lovely.

As far as the Brexiters are concerned, the 16 million who voted remain are losers who can glibly be ignored if they don't knuckle under. " It's a done deal, it's all over. Let's all get on with Project Rubbish. There is no other option now! " Yell the Brexiters. Well, sorry but no. The Clowns and Cretins are big time wrong. The intransigent Remainers and those who will join them as living standards crash can be organised into a potent political force. Since in Parliament, only the SNP feels able to formally oppose Brexit, it is time for a new centrist party that would campaign in by-elections and the next general election for a reformed EU. We stay inside or return back inside and clean it up. Outside of Scotland, there are hundreds of constituencies to be targeted where good majorities voted in the referendum to remain. The new centrist party would return democratically a solid pro EU block of MPs to democratically give the Brexiters the boot.

How about calling this new centrist party the Moderates? It abreviates pleasingly to the Mods. With a bit of dosh, we don our parkhas and leap on our Vespas and do it. It won't be quite so easy but us Remainers/Mods should take heart from the words of de Gaulle in another dark time: " We have lost a battle but we have not lost the war".

Tomorrow, 17th of January 2017, Theresa May will tell the world a little about her Brexit plans. She will also tell the British that thanks to her good friend Donald the future for a Trumpish and totally deregulated Britain is rosy. Sure, and pigs will fly.

The Twerkers are hopping mad. Brilliant! Britain didn't have a Civil War for the aspiring despotism of May and her Cretins to bypass Parliament with some legal cadaver called the Royal Prerogative. Sounds like its come out of the crypt of " Divine Rights " Charles the First. A little while back, Oliver Cromwell sorted him and got it right; Parliament is Sovereign. If you want to trash treaties and thereby take people's rights away, like for instance their existing right in law to work on the continent, then Parliament has to give it's consent.

Lets hope there are enough MPs to say to the " Lets Shoot Ourselves in the Foot " millions : thanks for your recommendation to wreck the shop but the answer is no. F.O!
